Sally QuinnWe’d be remiss if we didn’t mention a juicy bit of media news first reported by Erik Wemple late Wednesday over at City Desk: oft-mocked Washington Post columnist Sally Quinn has had her regular column, “The Party,” removed from the print edition of the paper. The column will continue to run online, however, in washingtonpost.com’s “On Faith” section, Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli told Wemple.
Brauchli’s decision came shortly after Quinn wrote this absolutely hideous, self-serving column about a personal drama involving dueling family weddings set for the same date. The column was universally panned, forcing media critics all over town to dust off their “Sally Quinn hasn’t been relevant for a long time” arguments. And with his banishment of Quinn to the web, Brauchli has now helped confirm those theses.
